    Question Whats the Diff?

    Whats the difference between the FSM and the Heist?

    Is one better at cruising, carving, sliding, bombing?

    size, tails, shapes, trucks, wheels?

    what are the pros and cons of each?

    Heist:

    -Snappy flex
    -small tail/nose
    -Built-in bumpers on both ends
    -Wide board, widest section is 9in
    -42in long

    I like it for carving, cruising, sliding, and maybe bombing.

    Fastest speed I went on the Heist is about 35-40mph and it was pretty stable. Flipped randals, tightened the trucks.

    Thats my insight on the Heist. There is probably more, but I can't say it right without newbing it.

    fsm:
    dampening flex (not alot of it)
    beefy (wide) nose/tail
    wider board, 10in at widest.
    40in long

    i enjoy it for everything. its low enough to push and with the right trucks carving is fun as hell. the rocker and concave keep you locked in for sliding and bombing. the only thing that i wouldnt recomend it for is dancing and ldp (long distance pumping) but thats why its low, and your not gonna get too much dancing out of a free ride board. sliding and going fast are more its area but the rocker makes it feel oh so nice to push.

    bascially. if you like flex and bouncing in and out of carves, go for the heist. but if you like stability and that locked in feeling while going fast, the fsm is perfect.

    Never ridden the FSM, but I love my new heist.

    Cheaper than the FSM, I believe.

    S9 Goddess - Randal 180 - Raceforms
    Home built BB Ceviche - Paris 150 - Stimulus

    Not much. I actually really like the Heist. I rode one today actually. I just could never ever see myself paying $20 less to get the Heist. Pay the extra money. You will eventually be glad you did.
